      @TheBowersj do you honestly believe that the outerbanks and all other barier islands were man made ? I think your referring to the spoil islands along the intercoastal waterway you clearly don't know what your talking about the barier islands have been here since the ice age.

    For those who haven’t spent their lives living or walking along the OBX, living on the beach seems foolish. If you have vacationed here all your life, worked or lived along these shorelines, you understand the emotional attachments regardless the risks.

      Tax the people inland that have nothing to do with the beach to pay for sand replacement. They won’t know.

    building right in front of the ocean seems silly to me, but its an investment and people make money from it. they should also be responsible for the clean up as well when the ocean takes it away

    I grew up spending summers on the Banks. It was once a peaceful place. Now people have do e what should never have been done, building on the fragile coastline.
    Nobody should be rebuilding,.

    It's more like big business building rentals! Taking out sand dunes to build. Man is the reason!

    Turn it all back to Nat'l Seashore. You should never have been allowed to build there in the first place except for the original peoples. It's always been a speculative gamble. You can't fight Mother Nature for a 100 some odd miles. We all knew this was happenin back in the 1980s from UNC Oceanographer Oren Pilkey on forward.

    Stop removing sand! It's not the water that rises, it's the sand that we remove to build roads, houses and huge buildings.
